To buy again from usedlaptops.com?
« on: September 20, 2010, 01:42:22 PM »
I don't want, nor can afford a new notebook with the specs I want.. I know enough about building, modifying, upgrading, virus recovery ect. so that a warranty means very little to me.
I bought a Dell Latitude notebook from usedlaptops.com in 2003 which I used to modify/re-flash GM PCM (automotive computer) programs. I had an issue with the hard drive in it and they sent me a new replacement drive free with free shipping and prepaid return packaging for return shipment of the defective drive. All in a very timely manner.
 I now want a notebook to modify ladder logic programs for industrial PLC's (factory equipment controller) for machinery where I work, and to write/modify PLC programs for various other applications. I looked at the usedlaptops.com website and they currently have a Dell D630 available for $429 which fits my needs specification wise fine.
Is this still a reputable seller? Is there a better seller out there nowdays?
Any comments/direction/suggestions about the Dell D630?

EDIT: spelling

Sorry about that. I figured requesting information / reviews about the Dell D630 hardware and usedlaptops.com services was within the guidelines.  ???

Anyway, I made my purchase based on information I recieved from several hours of research from several different sources and am happy with my new hardware:)

Mods moved it from here:  http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,110780.0.html
I'm aware of that. I recieved the notification email about the move.
Now that I'm aware of the guidelines for posting in the 'Reviews and recommendations' section, and this post has received no replies pertaining to the original requested information about the hardware or services listed in the original post, I see no need for it to take up space in the hardware section either. Shouldn't a mod just delete the whole post?  :)

No...
Because the Post may spawn answers to your original query...
Which is why i moved it instead of deleting it.

Personally if you had a good experience with the Vendor in the past by all means i would say yes...use them again.
